SWFA website updated; More to come in 2024

Looks good in my books as long as they're as reliable and durable inside, then this is a win. Smaller turrets/capped option and a zero stop at an absolute bargain of a price still. Sure it would have been nice to see a roll out of a 6x and 3-9x with availability. Maybe availability will be coming in 2025, although I'm not holding my breath. I sure would like a 10x HD. A 6x HD would be a real ticket if they ever pumped one out.

The pics you’re looking at must be different than the rest of us. Those turrets look WAY taller than the old ones. Definitely, not smaller.

Every time I look at my NF scopes or my Maven scopes or even my old SWFA scopes I’m left thinking; “man… if only I could replace the turrets with an even bigger turret, or an even BIGGER capped turret I’d be totally stoked. No scope companies will listen! ”

All jokes aside I hope these are solid and they aren’t taking a step back in reliability. I’d also be interested to see where they thought 6 turret combinations was what the world needed.

The factory zero stop was the only need on these. I'm bummed to see no 6X or 3-9, but will buy both when they become available.

Negative brother. Obviously the caps are taller as they go over top of the actual turrets. The turrets themselves look certainly slimmer and maybe shorter as well. I have a few Gen 1's and they're pretty dang large and in charge.

I would hope that they are holding off on the 6 and 3-9 till backorder are filled and warranty replacements can be as well before they let them loose to the masses. I was just waiting to replace my 3-15.

 

[Team4LongGun]

So much optimism. With all the love, there seems to be quite a large number of warranty replacements..... I ordered one (3-9) to see what the hype was about, that was over a year ago. So I'm in the holding pattern as well.

 

[igethangry]

Have the 3-15x been as reliable as the fixed powers and the 3-9 for people?

 

[isItFallYet]

Any word on our 1.5 year backorders?

 

[gtriple]

I'm very disappointed. They should have scrapped every new model that they came out with and just focused design and production on the 3-9 HD, 3-15 HD, 6x HD, and an improved version of the UL.

What a shit show of a release.

I have the older version as well. These look larger than the ones I have. Maybe it’s an optical illusion and the mass majority of folks are wrong about the larger size.

 

[ElkSnort]

Swfa must think we're all gullible fools. What a joke of a release.

 

[gtriple]

It's amazing that a company with the historical success just completely sh*ts the bed on what their customers actually want, but then a new company like Maven actually listens to their customers and releases a fantastic product.

 

[Schmo]

I have to admit that I’m disappointed in the release. However, I’m interested in the 3-15. With the modular turrets, can run the shortest option with windage capped, and elevation now has zero stop. A 3-15 mil FFP for $700 ain’t shabby.

I have had my 3-15 on 6 different rifles now and had no problems.

For less than a dollar at ACE hardware, I made 3 of my old SWFA scopes zero stop.

You shouldn't have to.

If they work, they work. People care too much about looks.

It’s not a looks complaint, it’s a big ass windage turret that catches on shit and blocks brass ejection at times depending on how it’s mounted. Longer is only gonna make it worse.
